8. I will not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices which explode or
burn, or any device, which propels a projectile of any kind. Exceptions include
Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smoke and are securely
attached to the model aircraft during fl ight. Rocket motors up to a G-series
size may be used, provided they remain fi rmly attached to the model aircraft
during fl ight. Model rockets may be fl own in accordance with the National Model
Rocketry Safety Code; however, they may not be launched from model aircraft.
Offi cially designated AMA Air Show Teams (AST) are authorized to use devices
and practices as defi ned within the Air Show Advisory Committee Document.
9. I will not operate my model aircraft while under the infl uence of alcohol or within
eight (8) hours of having consumed alcohol.
10. I will not operate my model aircraft while using any drug which could adversely
affect my ability to safely control my model aircraft.
11. Children under six (6) years old are only allowed on a flight line or in a
flight area as a pilot or while under flight instruction.
12. When and where required by rule, helmets must be properly worn and
fastened. They must be OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE approved or
comply with comparable standards.
RADIO CONTROL
1. All model fl ying shall be conducted in a manner to avoid overfl ight of unprotected
people.
2. I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground-range check
before the fi rst fl ight of a new or repaired model aircraft.
3. I will not fl y my model aircraft in the presence of spectators until I become a
profi cient fl ier, unless I am assisted by an experienced pilot.
4. At all fl ying sites a safety line or lines must be established, in front of which
all fl ying takes place. Only personnel associated with fl ying the model
aircraft are allowed at or in front of the safety line. In the case of air shows or
demonstrations a straight safety line must be established. An area away from
the safety line must be maintained for spectators. Intentional fl ying behind the
safety line is prohibited.
5. I will operate my model aircraft using only radio-control frequencies currently
allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Only individuals
properly licensed by the FCC are authorized to operate equipment on Amateur
Band frequencies.
6. I will not knowingly operate my model aircraft within three (3) miles of
any preexisting fl ying site without a frequency-management agreement.
A frequency-management agreement may be an allocation of frequencies for
each site, a day-use agreement between sites, or testing which determines that
no interference exists. A frequency-management agreement may exist between
two or more AMA chartered clubs, AMA clubs and individual AMA members, or
